Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)

On tap at the Draft House. Served a golden color with a good head and nice lacing. Aroma of citrus with fresh grain. Taste is slightly sweet, with some malt and fresh grain. Nice bitterness and a dry finish. Medium body, smooth and well balanced. Easy drinker, good for a few. Nothing fancy here just a beer with a little character. Worth checking ou
Clear and golden with a creamy-white head and intricate lace. Nice palate -- creamy and smooth. Light caramel sweetness in the malts. Flowery hops with a decent bitterness level. Pretty good balance
Clear yellow with a fizzy white head. Sweet malty and citrus hops aroma and taste with a smooth almost creamy palate and a smooth finish.
